Kendrick Lamar, alongside Trey Parker and Matt Stone, continues to keep audiences guessing with their enigmatic live-action comedy. Paramount has removed the untitled film from its March 20 release date, leaving its theatrical debut open-ended while the creators refine the project. Stone and Parker’s production company, Park County, and Lamar’s PGLang issued a joint statement, saying, “It’s true – we’re moving (again). We’re working hard at finishing the movie.”
The long-anticipated film has already faced multiple shifts on Paramount’s release calendar. Initially revealed in 2024, it was slated for a July 4, 2025, debut, perfectly aligned with Independence Day. Three months before that date, the studio moved it to March 20, 2026. Now, with only four months remaining, the movie faces yet another delay, this time without any new release date, leaving fans in suspense. While his movie continues to face setbacks, Kendrick Lamar’s musical career has been soaring.
Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ defied every prediction, smashing records, dominating charts, and turning the rap world upside down, proving once again that he reshapes the boundaries of music with every release.
